MAY DAY PARADE 
THRILLS CROWDS 

High School Wins Grand Sweep- 
stakes in Spite of Rain 



At two o'clock in the afternoon of 
May 2,' the May Day festival of Pacific 
College was opened by the May Day 
parade. 

This year the parade was bigger and

better than ever before and there was 
a weallh of beautiful floats. The col- 
lege classes each entered floats, with 
the exception of the Junior class. The 
High School entered a float, the float 
which won the grand prize; and various 
local organizations and nearby commu- 
nities entered several beautiful floats. 

At two o'clock, with an anxious eye 
on the dark clouds overhead, the parade 
began. First came the flag bearer and 
the heralds, then the Newberg band. 
Following the band came the Cardinal's 
car and the Queen's float, a beautiful 
representation of a white peacock. Then 
came the college floats, first the Seniois, 
then the Sophomores, next the Fresh- 
men, the Fourth Years, and the Faculty. 
Immediately behind the Faculty float

Regardless of the rain attempting to 
interrupt the outdoor program, the May 
Pole winding, the queen's coronation, 
and the pageant were given on May 
second to a large group of high school 
seniors and Newberg spectatois on the 
athletic field. The twenty-four girls at- 
tired in lavender and pink wound the 
May pole to the traditional music. At 
the conclusion of their frolic the girls 
formed a line on each side of the queen's 
bower. Pages blew their trumpets and 

advanced to the throne. Next 

in the procession was the Car- 
dinal, Frank Cole: he was fol- 
lowed by Joe Conovcr, the 
crown bearer. The Queen ad- 
vanced witli stately tread to- 
ward the throne. Her attend- 
ants were Generva Street, El- 
va Votaw, Elizabeth Iladley, 
and Helen Whipple. The 
Queen's flower and train bear- 
eis were three of Newberg's 
small girls. 

The Queen advanced to the 
bower and knelt before the 
Cardinal who crowned her 
Queen of May. She then bade 
all mortals lay aside their trou- 
bles of the every day life. She 
said it was her purpose to 
promote happiness and joy 
throughout her kingdom. 

To entertain her Majesty 
came two of Terrell's Tum- 
blers, Carl Sandoz and Orla 
Kendall. The boys did several 
very difficult stunts and wore 
very enthusiastically received 
by the audience. 

The pageant of the Three 
Wishes was presented. The 
two little girls were Arloene 
Davey and Helen Williams. 
Lela Gulley was the Fairy 
Godmother, who gave the girls 
three wishes. The first wish 
of the little girls was to go 
to Story Book Land. This 
wish the Fairy Godmother 
granted; from out of a Mother 
Goose book came the familiar 
characters. Little Bo-Peep 
looked for her sleep; Miss Muf- 
fet got frightened away by a 
spider; Mary, Mary, quite con- 
trary raked her garden, and 
Red Riding Hood passed on 
her way to visit her grandmother. Old 
King Cole was there with his pipe bear- 
er, his bowl bearer, and his three clog- 
ging fiddlers. Cinderella and her Trince 
Charming, who did a minuet which was 
stopped by the clock's striking twelve.

RECEPTION GIVEN MANY 
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS 



The reception which the visiting high 
school seniors received at Pacific Col- 
lege on May Day was pretty damp as 
far as the weather was concerned. And 
the entertainment given by the faculty | 
and students wasn't dry cither. In- i 
stead it was mast interesting. We all ! 
found out that it takes something more 
than a downpour of rain to dampen the 
Pacific College spirit. 

The seniois from all the high schools 
within a forty or fifty mile radius of 
Newberg were invited to be the 
guests of Pacific College on 
May 2. Twenty-one of the 
schools accepted the invitation, | 
and there were three hundred j 
and thirty-six guests. The 1 
schools represented were: t 
Washington, Grant, Franklin, \ 
and Pa i k rose of Poitlnnd, i 
Scotts Mills. Dundee, Canby, 
Hlllsboro, Hubbard, Turner, | 
Newbeig. Salem, St. Paul, Ti- j 
gard, Dayton, Scio, Silverton, | 
Jefferson, Scappoose, and St. 
Helens; also Pacific Academy. 

When they arrived they 
were met by some of the re- 
ception committee, given regis- 
tration cards which called for 
name, address, and school. 

After the May Day program 
in the afternoon, they all met 
in Wood^Mnr Hall where they 
each received a box of lunch. 
Having eaten their supper in 
the chapel, they all stayed for 
the program which followed. 
Mr. Newberry, field secretary 
of the college, was master of ceremon- 
ies. First there were two rousing songs 
by the college. Then President Pen- 
nington gave a very interesting talk. 
He introduced the members of the fac- 
ulty who were present. Ralph Choate, 
president of the student body, then told 
of the student activities and introduced 
the leaders of each group. After that 
there was a high school roll-caH, and 
each school responded with a song or 
yell. The program then closed with 
two numbers by a girls' quartet. 

We have enjoyed the presence of the 
high school students very much. AVe 
hope that they have enjoyed ouis.

"FIGUREHEADS" PRESENTED 

TO EVENING AUDIENCE 



DORiM TREES BEAR BEDS 

We always insisted that racific was ■ 
a distinctive college; now we have more | 
proof. It isn't every college that has I 
tiees which have blossoms and bear 
beds. Yes, our trees have night owl 
nests in them. If John Henry and Oren 
don't believe in. fairies, brownies, or 
what have you. how can they explain 
the unrequested transportation of their 
property! 



Old Jupiter Pluvius isn't the only one 
who knows how to give May Day show- 
ers, and the dormitory girls are pretty 
sure that more people enjoyed their 
shower than enjoyed the ones in the 
afternoon — even though there weren't a 
tenth as many attending it. 

Friday morning Genevieve was awak- 
ened by the familiar strains of the May 
Day song and by a knock at her door. 
After calling, "Come in" several times, 
she finally climbed sleepily out of bed 
and opened the door. And there in 
fiont of her was a huge May basket 
piled high with all sorts of bumpy pack- 
ages. Grouped around the basket were 
about thirty girls.

"Every beat of my heart says 'Prince 
of Domdometer, Prince of my heart'." 

"Every beat of your heart says 'Me, 
me, me.' So said the Prince of Dom- 
dometer, Veldon Diment, to the Prin- 
cess Felicia of Ponderay, Elva Votaw, 
in the play, "Figureheads" given April 
25. 

By using caveman methods of climb- 
ing down a cliff in back of the daven- 
port and submitting to the humiliation 
of having paper thrown in his face, 
the fisherman won the princess. 

It isn't every fishemrm that can tame 
a shrew who is a princess. We wonder 
if Volclon would enjoy bread and cheese 
if he lived in the dorm and had! it fre- 
quently. 

Delia Hanvillo directed the play. The 
stage manager was Elinor Whipple. 
The audience was very enthusiastic and 
had a delightful time.

A WORD OF THANKS 

Two years have passed, and another May Day is chalked up 
on the list. The biggest and best May Day ever held at Pacific. 
Whoopie? We'll say so! But we couldn't detect any "Wasted 
Wits." Nor "wasted speed nor time" either. Some strength was 
used, but we would hardly call it "wasted." 

We wish to take this opportunity, on behalf of everybody, 
to thank everybody that helped give everybody a good time, which 
made the entire day a success, in spite of old Jupe, who insisted 
that the proceedings be all wet. 

The spirit of our guests, who helped the hosts and hostesses 
immensly by accepting the weather all as a matter of course, 
rather than something we had especially planned for them, was 1 
noted everywhere on the campus last Friday. 

While we're on the subject, it seems entirely fitting to thank ' 
all those outsiders who had any hand in helping to. make May 
Day the success that it was. 

The honorable judges, who did their job so thoroughly, in 
rain or shine, were W. H. Woodworth, S. L. Parrett, B. J. Groth, 
Mrs. Florence Baldwin, and Mrs. David Burns. 

Besides the judges, several automobile salesmen loaned the | 
car that sheltered the judges from the rain, while Mr. Palmer 
of the Buick company and Mr. Baynard of the Oakland company 
also loaned us cars for the parade. And we wish also to thank 
all of the business men of Newberg who entered floats in the 
parade. . Finally, the Newberg City Band deserves mentioning 
for heading the parade, until it started raining. 

The Crescent joins with the rest of Pacific College in ex- 
pressing our gratitude for the hearty cooperation we received 
from the business men of this city. 

Well, it's all over now and, as President Pennington stated, 
we can sleep it off all week if we need to, but YOU know that 
he meant that those who slept off for three or four days the ef- 
fect of May Day are probably those who did least in the prepa- 
ration for May Day. So — as soon as we're rested — back on the 
job we go — and finish the semester out right in a big way ! Let's 
not act and feel that May Day was the last event this year and 
that from now on we're "dead and don't know it." Go find your 
buttercup — and ask Ben Huntington what to do with it. 

In parting, — 

Don't sleep too long, L. B. W. 



On a warm summer evening did you 
ever sit and hear from the distance 
the music of a violin playing: the world's ■ 
greatest opera selections? To a lover | 
of music, such an experience brings a 
i delightful thrill never to he forgotten. 



It is increasingly tine that there Is 
"music in the air." We listen to some 
of It, give it a momentary appreciation, 
then hurry on about our rush of life. 
It has been said that the puipose of 
words is to conceal thought: then It is 
equally true that the purpose of music 
is to reveal soul. Composers of the 
ages have been talking through this 
language of the soul. In playing a piece 
of music one has two tasks to perform. 
One must first strive to pass on the 
message that the master left and then 
one must interweave with it one's own 
inner self. 

As we hear the good musical pro- 
grams of this National Music Week 
may we catch the messages of the great 
masters of melody. 

I love music tor wnar H makes me 
remember and helps me forget and for 
its own beauty. 

With a smile.

PACIFIC TRACK-MEN 

TRAMPLE NEWBERG HIGH 



Pacific's second track team has at 
last started to strut its stuff. We've 
been reading and hearing a lot about 
our "Thinly Clads" and, they've shown 
us that all of their ballyhooing has not 
heen in vain, for they came out on top 
by the score of 55 to 38 in a recent 
meet with Newberg High, on Tuesday, 
Apr. 29. 

As was expected by his last year's 
performances. Bob Bissett turned in 17 
2-3 points for high point honors. L. 
Sandoz of N. H. S. earned 15 points for 
second high point honors. In order 
down the list, Donnell made 12 1-3 
points, Wirt 10 points, Larimer 9 2-3 
points, and some others were added by 
C. Sandoz, Harle and Morse to swell 
out the total for Pacific. 

The outstanding performance of the 
meet came in the 100, when, on a wet 
track, Donnell nosed out Bissett (P) in 
10.2 seconds. The other times were 
comparatively slow because of the wet 
condition of the track and field. Jack- 
son sprained his wrist on his first heave 
of the javelin and was forced to retire 
without a place. The half mile relay, 1 
although a walk-away for Pacific, turn- 
ed out to be in pretty fair time, con- 
sidering the lack of practice the team 
has had in that event. The account 1 
of the meet is as follows: 

Mile Run — 1st, Thompson (N); 2nd, 
Morse (P); 3rd. Brown (N). Time 5:21.0.

STUDENT CHAPEL ROCKS WITH 
MIRTH AT "HELP YOURSELF' 



Cavemen never opon doors — they 
break them down. Hans Nieland illus- 
trated this in the student chapel play, 
"Help Yourself," April 24. Delia Han- 
ville had the part of Betty, who was 
in love with one of her big sister's 
beaux, Andy Stocker, who was Bob Bis- 
sett. Edith, the sister, Grace Mason, 
was going with young Burris, Ross 
Courser, to try to make Andy jealous. 
Edie was disgusted with Andy's easy- 
going way. The play hinged upon the 
fact that Andy had too many respon- 
sibilities to be other than a "soft guy." 
but he hoped to be rich, and consequent- 
ly able to exert himself as soon as 
his oil stock materialized. Betty learned 
this and sent a false wire saying that 
his company struck oil. Andy told ev- 
eryone just where to "head in" and the 
bluff worked, even after he found its 
falseness. The play ended with every- 
one exactly where he belonged. 

The play was directed by Mable Ken- 
dall and the stage manager was Pauline 
Crew, both of Miss Binford's expression 
class. 



1st Bass 

On a certain drizzly, unpleasant af- 
ternoon a gracious, smiling young lady 
was crowned Genevieve I, Queen of May. 
| She proved herself a true queen, for 
her contagious cheerfulness helped her 
, subjects to make a joyous occasion of 
■ a situation which might easily have 
been dull. 

Genevieve Badley started her school 
career in Portland by attending grade 
| school there and Washington High 
I School for two years and a half. Dur- 
ing her year at Pacific Academy she 
participated in class activities, acted as 
Secretary of the P. A. Student Body, 
was President of Athena and had a 
part in the Third Year play, "The Sis- 
terhood of Bridget." 

Throughout four years at Pacific Gen- 
evieve was a valuable asset to the col- 
lege. Each year she was on the volley 
ball team and, as a Freshman, was ac- 
tive in debate. The girls particularly 
enjoyed her as President of Trefian, 
I Treasurer, Music Committee Chairman, 
[ Vice-President and finally President of 
| the Y. W. C. A. She also attended 
' Seabeck one year, and was interested 
I in the deputation work of the school. 
Besides being college song leader and 
' playing for the Pep Band she took vo- 
) cal lessons and sang in the Glee Club. 
I On the Crescent staff Genevieve has 
been Jokes, Feature, and Society Ed- 
itor. At the end of her Junior year 
| she received the Junior Award. Her 
main interests have always been His- 
i tory. Education and Dramatics. She 
has always been especially active in 
, dramatics, acting as Dramatics Man- 
ager of the Student Body one year. 
She proved herself a skillful actress in 
the plays, "Adam and Eva," "The 
I Youngest," "New Brooms," "Mrs. 
Bumpstend Leigh" and "The Passing 
[ of the Third Floor Back." But the 
ciowning event of Genevieve s school 
life was her election as May Queen and 
i the festivities in her honor. Long may 
' she reign!

CONFERENCE BASE- 
BALL SEASON STARTS 



Opening its season. Pacific lost its 
first game to Linfield, 9-0 on her home 
Held, Friday, April 25. Poor hitting 
on the part of P. C. and airtight field- 
ing for Linfield were the main causes 
of Linfteld's compaiatively easy victory. 
In the last inning Post, on a lucky 
blow, reached first. Wirt advanced him, 
but he was put out. Finally Baker got 
a clean double, but Wirt was tossed 
out at the plate. The next batter filed, 
thus spoiling a good chance to score. 
Harle pitched a steady game for the 
locals. 

In the second game, on the home 
court, P. C. lost to Oiegon Normal by 
the score of 18-0. Three pitchers, Wirt. 
Nieland and Donnell, were unable to 
stop the batting fest of the Monmouth 
players. Harle. regular hurler, went 
in in the ninth and ended safely a 
terrible afternoon. Pacific made 10 er- 
rois. 



After one startled gasp Genevieve 
took refuge behind the door and it was 
only after a great deal of coaxing that 
she was finally persuaded to come out. 
She then invited all the girls into the 
room and began opening the contents 
of her May basket. In it she found 
all sorts of useful and pretty articles 
for a kitchen or dining room. One of 
the most useful and interesting was a 
set of clothes pins from the "Dormi- 
tory Mouse." Two of the pins were 
dressed to represent a bride and groom. 

After the shower was over, everyone 
went down to the dining room where 
a breakfast of fruit cocktail with sher- 
bet, golden-rod egg, toast, quince honey, 
and hot chocolate was served. 



"You say Joe was accidentally killed?" 

"Yes. There was a Sunday Oregon-

for it, it fell on him."

Trumbull, taken by George Donnell. 
The story centers around these three 
men who live together. They had all 
loved the samp girl but she had turned 
them .11 d< wn One dny ihey received 
a letter from this frirnd staling that 
shi. was dying and aski.ig th -si tliiee 
men to take care of her beloved child, 
Sidney Fairchild. They are perfectly 
willing to do this but "Teddy" objects 
to the infant boy being in the home 
because it would change the order of 
things too much. "Dick" Gaunt is glad 
to have him in the home because it 
will get them out of their ruts. He 
strongly advocates that a person must 
get out of his rut and "roll among the 
buttercups" if he is to be happy and 
live to be old. Teddy decides to turn 
the will over to his nephew, Gordon 
Schuyler (Dennis McGuire), of whom he 
is guardian. Gordon strongly objects, 
but takes the will. When Sidney ar- 
rives they are surprised to find that 
"he" is a young lady. The thiee men 
are very much excited but Gordon steps 
up and claims her since he has the 
will. Of course the three men keep 
her in the house and buy her every- 
thing to make her happy. Miss Pair- 
child's part was played by Arloene Da- 
vey. 

The home of the men is being care- 
fully watched by police because Ben- 
jamin Suratt, an escaped convict, pop- 
ularly known as "Bennie the duck" 
(Hans Nieland), is trying to kill Judge | 
Trumbull. While Sidney is alone in j 
the room one evening Bennie enters 
the house, knocks down Gray, the but- 
ler (Veldon Diment) and goes to Sidney 
as she stands looking out of the win- 
dow. They recognize each other and 
Bennie asks where the Judge is. She : 
will not tell; and when he pushes her ' 
away from the door which she is guard- j 
ing, she blows the police whistle. Ben- 
nie is frantic as the police answer and 
Sidney rushes him upstairs to let him 
escape through the skylight. The po- 
lice search the house and know that 
someone let Bennie in and helped him 
escape. Sidney confesses after ques- 
tioning, that she did and of course the 
three men are greatly disappointed and 
believe her guilty. Gordon refuses to 
think she is guilty. Sidney leaves from 
upstairs and Is folowed by the police. 
Poole, chief of police (Fred Harle), Clan- 
cy (Owen Baker), his assistant, and an- 
other policeman (Lynn Hampton), made 
a very efficient police trio. With Gor- 
don's careful study of the situation and 
the work of the chief they are finally 
able to free Sidney. She tells Gordon 
how her father was sent to prison al- 
though he was innocent and that when 
she visited him in prison she met "Ben- 
nie the Duck." Bennie and her father 
escaped from prison at the same time 
and she knew that if Bennie were 
caught her father would be in danger 
and so she helped Bennie escape. While 
she is telling this to Gordon upstairs, 
John Crawshay (Loyde Osburn) enters 
the room and the police also bring Ben- 
nie in, consequently they learn that 
Crawshay is Sidney's father. Bennie 
finally confesses that he was guilty of 
the crime of which Crawshay was ac- 
cused. Thus Sidney and her father are 
both free. Gordon is able to marry Sid- 
ney and the Three Wise Fools go up- 
stairs to bed promptly at 10:30 with 
their apples and hot water, which was 
an old custom or "rut," as the doctor 
said. Other players were the house- 
keeper, Saunders (Ruth Donnell) and a 
man servant, Douglas (Burton Frost) 
The entire cast played their parts ex- 
ceptionally well both nights. The suc- 
cess of the play is not alone due to 
the cast but much of it is due to the 
efficient work of Miss Binford, the coach. 
The rest of the management also worked 
hard and deserve credit. They are, Er- 
vin Diment, business manager; Mary 
Sue Binford, property manager; Ralph 



Moore, stage manager; and Dennis Mc- 
Guire, student dramatics manager. 

Between the acts, Mary Susannah 
Binford played piano solos. Miss Bin- 
ford and Loyde Osburn played a piano 
duet which was very much enjoyed by 
the audience. 



PAGEANT HELD PARTLY 

IN RAIN ON MAY DAY 



MAY DAY PARADE 

THRILLS CROWDS 



(Continued from page one) 



came the High School float, which was 
followed by the local organization and 
community floats. Last but not least 
were the typical collegiate "heap" en- 
tered by the Freshman class, and "Amos 
*n Andy's Fresh Heir Taxicab" which 
was entered by the Sophomore class. 

The parade passed down First street, 
escoited by several slate oflicers, where 
it was viewed and applauded by a large , 
crowd. The rain came before the parade i 
had returned to the college but the | 
crowd was able to see it at its best, 
before the rain fell. 

A judges' committee headed by Mr. 
Groth, city mayor, awarded the follow- 
ing prizes in the College and High 
School Division: first prize to the New- 
berg High School; second prize to the 
Sophomore Class of the College, and 
third prize to the Freshman Class; in 
the Local Division, first prize to the 
Pioneer League; second prize to the W. 
C. T. U. and third prize to the Firemen; 
in the surrounding communities divi- 
sion, first prize to Chehalem Center and 
second to Sunnycrest. 

Special mention should be made of ' 
the award to the Newberg High School, 
since they certainly deserved it. They 
had built a float of crepe paper the 
night before, which the rain had ru- , 
ined, but despite that they went to ' 
work and built another the next morn- 
ing which won over several very line 
floats. Pacific offers its sincere con- 
gratulations to Newberg High School. 
We're glad they won the grand prize 
for spirit and energy of the type the 
High Schol displayed just can't be beat- 
en. The Sophomore class is entitled 
to the honor of seeing its name en- 
graved on the May Day cup, for taking 
2nd prize above all other college floats.

lost her golden slipper. 

The second wishaof the girls that the 
Fairy Godmother granted was that their 
dolls would come to life. The French 
doli coyly avakened to life, Hans and 
Gretchen played around, the Jacks-in- 
the-Boxes bobbed around, the Irish doll 
gave a little jig, and the sailor dolls 
celebrated their leave. 

The third wish was that they might 
see the fairies play. They saw flower 
fairies, butterflies, storm fairies, and 
finally rainbow fairies. 

Just as the pageant was finished the 
rain commenced again. At least, that 
part of the program was given and the 
rest of the entertainment was indoors.

SIGHT AND SOUND 

I see; 

Twinkling lights on the waterfront; 

Lights that gleam in the rain, 
Myriad litghts from the hilltop 

Lighting a city of pain; 

Lights that hearten, 

Lights that cheer, 
Lights that show the way. 

1 hear: 

Tinkling bells in a chiming tower; 

Bells tolling tales of fear, 
Myriad bells from the city streets. 

Sounding a pean of cheer. 

Bells that frighten, 

Bells that sing. 
Bells that sound the way.
